I can't give solutions to all oflife's problems, doubts, or fears.But I can listen to you andtogether we will search for answers.I can't change your past with all it's heartache and pain,nor the future with it's untold stories.But I can be there now when you need me to care. I can't keep yourfeet from stumbling.I can only offer my handthat you may grasp itand not fall.

Your joys, triumps, success,and happiness are not mine;Yet I can share in your laughter.

Your decisions in life are not mine to make, nor to judge;I can only support you, encourage you,and help you when you ask.

I can't prevent you fromfalling away from friendship,from your values, from me.I can only pray for you,talk to you, and wait for you.

I can't give you boundaries which I have determined for you,But I can give you the room to change, room to grow,room to be yourself.

I can't keep your heart from breaking and hurting,But I can cry with you and help you pick up the piecesand put them back in place.
